– New Alpine Rock, Crags and Sport Routes, and Bouldering sections added
– Expanded historical and biographical anecdotes
– GPS waypoints added for key route descriptions
From the hard basalt lava peaks of Constance and The Brothers, to the high-
angle faces of The Needles and Sawtooth Ridge, to the sandstone and vast
glaciers of Mount Olympus, and hundreds of other mountains large and small:
It’s the definitive climbing guide authored by Olympic Mountain Rescue (OMR),
a group of volunteers dedicated to saving lives for the last 50 years through
search, rescue, and mountain safety education. In preparing this new edition,
OMR drew not only on their own extensive experience throughout the range, but
also on the knowledge of the National Park and Forest Services and other
organizations and climbers.
This greatly expanded new edition adds an Alpine Rock section featuring
classic climbs, a Crags and Sport Routes section revealing several rock
climbing challenges withina short walk from roads, plus great bouldering
locations. In addition, there are enhanced route descriptions for ‹High Alpine
Traverses› including refined Bailey Range data; new traverse legs have also
been added.
